I don’t know what they put in that drink, but I was high and drowsy. I am well aware what is happening around me, but I was seeing double of everything; surely he put something in my drink. I have no idea what, but it was strong.“What did you put in my drink?” I asked, turning to Declan. I wasn’t slurring; my words were straight, and I could tell he was surprised.“You must be one strong bitch,” he said, chuckling. I laughed with him.“You must think I’m weak,” I said, trying to grab him, but my hands were failing me. He took my wrist, swinging my hands around, and he chuckled.“You are weak,” he said to my face, and I smiled.“But it’s not a crime, right? You wanted to have sex anyway,” he said, his hot breath fanning my face. I ignored him; my head was spinning, my vision going
Dmitri's POVI got to the house and carried Valeria outside. I took her to her room and dropped her on the bed. I breathed out, running my hand through my hair as she slept soundly. She looked so innocent, not capable of any evil. She was half naked with blood all over her body and hands, and I couldn’t believe she ripped his dick off. She has rendered him useless for the rest of his life, and nothing can save him. Anytime she steps out, she comes back with trouble. I should have followed her; I should have sneakily followed her, but I was angry. I was fucking pissed off.She is stubborn and hard to talk to, and what she did that last night pissed me off. I left her; for years I left her so she could move on from his death. Losing a mate and being forced to live eternity without them is hard; I have been there, and it took me years to get back to myself. But I have given her enough time, enough years, to move on, but she refused. Damien was my friend, and it saddened me how he died, b
Dmitri's POVI heard her soft footsteps coming down the stairs, and as usual, I stayed by the kitchen, cooking. I was expecting her to make one of her silly comments, expecting her to get on my nerves or just do something to piss me off. But I wasn’t expecting the hug. She wrapped her arms around my waist, hugging me tightly, and I wondered if there was another Valeria in this house. I heard a small sniff, and my mouth hung open in shock. Was she crying?“I should have listened to you, Dmitri,” she said, holding me tight. I am so used to Valeria being stubborn and difficult to talk to that I didn’t know what to make of her being calm and apologetic.“I went to that stupid strip club and allowed myself to be touched without my permission,” she cried, and I sighed. I dropped the spatula I was holding and turned around. Her eyes were swollen, so I could tell she cried before coming down here. I hugged her tight, brushing her hair softly. I would have teased her for being short; she was j
Dmitri's POVI, Egan and Valeria walked down the hallway. It’s been a few days, and we were here, land of the gods and goddesses, Helna. Here, all gods and goddesses have a kingdom of their own and their contribution to the supernatural world and humans. The councils are the main rulers of Helena; they have powers over the gods and goddesses. Well, not technically; a god or goddess has more power than the council, but their position is what makes them powerful. If a god or a goddess were to cause destruction, they have all powers to call the person in question to order, only if other gods or goddesses permit it.So, they have all the power and control but not directly. I looked at Valeria; this was her first time here, and she looked confident. I have no idea what power she thinks she has, but the councils are not who she thinks they are. I really hope today goes well and Valeria apologises to her even if she doesn’t mean it. The guards in front of the conference room bowed, and I can’t
Dmitri's POVWe got back to the house, not speaking a word to each other on our way here. We wanted to get back first because I have a lot of questions, and the sly smirk on her face doesn’t help either.“Are you going to tell us or not?” Egan asked, slumping on the couch.“Tell you what?” she asked, innocently. Egan rolled his eyes.“Come on, Mom, you know something. Spill,” he said, and I sat on the single couch. Valeria smiled.“Ever heard of the Valkyries?” she asked.“Of course, everyone knows about them. They are very powerful; they have helped with a lot of wars, and they are fierce slayers. I heard the Valkyries and Vladimir are in a battle; apparently there was a war Vladimir was supposed to help with, but the Valkyries sisters got involved and won. Now, Vladimir is searching for them, but no one knows who they are or what they are or where they are; they are like ghosts. Seen only when they want to be seen,” Egan said.“What more do you know about them?” she asked, curiously
Dmitri’s POVI continued watching from the screen, and Egan and Valeria killed off all the men, leaving the boss. It was interesting to see both working together. I felt sad for Egan seeing how Valeria trained him. He was a very sad little boy and teenager, and he and Valeria never got along. She trained him with an iron fist, and one time Egan ran from home, and she found him. Locked him up for days without food, just water.We all plead with her, including Sam and Darcy. But Valeria turned a blind eye. Egan never ran from home again, and he was forced to train. But now, I can see she cared so much for her son. She was broken and never wanted her son to be in that position. She had to be mean to him, so he learnt how to survive on his own, and seeing how he was now, she trained him well. He is the king of werewolves anyway, and over the years he has earned himself a name, the killer machine, and it’s all thanks to Valeria. I went to the living room, and Valeria removed the mask cover
Valeria POVI could tell Egan and Dmitri were confused, but this is something I have kept to myself for years. Of course, I wasn’t going to joke around all my life and not have anything to fall back on. I made this, me alongside all these women. We had only one goal, and it was to use our power or influence to do the right thing because everyone here has been wronged by the world. We all have our story, ranging from worse to better. And I am happy that, after so many years, this organisation was finally going to be helpful to me. I heard a low growl as Cassidy and I pulled apart, and I turned to Egan. He was staring at Cassidy with hooded eyes, and she also looked back at him with the same gaze. I gasped.“Is she your mate?” I asked, excited. But of course, they both didn’t reply to me. Their gaze was fixed on each other, and I smiled. Finally, he has found his mate.“Let’s give them some privacy,” I said, dragging Dmitri with me. I held his hand, going fully into the palace. We enter
aleria POVWe pulled apart and stared at each other. Was I betraying Damien by doing this? Was I committing a grave sin? Should I be regretting this and locking myself up as I hide my face in shame?“Hey, don’t overthink it,” Dmitri said softly, searching my face.“I am not,” I said, and he raised his brows.“You are, Valeria. Don’t overthink it,” he muttered. I smiled softly, my body still tingling at the thought of the kiss. It’s been so long since I had a kiss, a kiss where I genuinely wanted to, a kiss where I shared the same amount of passion. I have kissed a lot of me, but those are all hungry kisses, no emotions, and it was not in the least affectionate. But this one it was everything I could ever imagine. I wrapped my arms around him, hiding my face in his shoulders, and I took in his scent. He smelt different; he smelt like home, and he smelt like warmth, and it made me happy. He rubbed my back slowly, his hand trailing down my spine.“You are so strong,” he whispered in my e
Third Person POV“Valeria!” Rosy cried, running to Valeria as she came down from the car. Valeria chuckled, receiving her hug. Rosy cried loudly, her hormones playing with her emotions.“I am so happy you are okay,” she cried, and they all watched in surprise. Of course, they all hated Rosy for what she did, and Joseph wanted nothing to do with her until Levi told him she was pregnant. He accepted her back after her heartfelt apology. Joseph has not forgiven her yet, but they are working towards it. Rosy has turned a new leaf; she is getting to know Joseph more. She has been joining in, in cleaning the house, engaging him in talks and loving him just like he loved her. Rosy knew it would take time, but she was willing to wait. She shouldn’t have done all those things she did, and she spent hours learning how to make apology cookies to share with everyone. Joseph watched her; she was so concentrated on making it perfect, and he smiled, happy she was really serious about the change. But
Third Person POVValeria heard whispers around her, and she slowly opened her eyes. She was in the world with bandages and stitches all over her body. Of course, they had to bring her to their organisation to be treated. After everything that happened, Dmitri informed them about Valeria’s injury and he would be taking her for treatment. He told them they would be back when she was well on her feet, and they nod their heads. Dmitr, Egan and Valeria immediately left, and she was treated. There were so many injuries, they have no idea how she was still able to stand. After five days, she was just waking up.“She’s awake,” Cassidy said as they towered over her. Valeria looked up, and they were looking down at her.“Please, get out of my face,” she mumbled, her voice hoarse. Egan sat on the bed and hugged her tightly.“I was so worried, Mom; I thought I lost you for a second,” he said. Valeria chuckled.“I can’t die so easily,” she mumbled, and he pulled back.“There were injuries all over
Third Person POVThe bombs kept blowing up, and gunshots rang, and Valeria and Rosy ran down so many halls. No one was in sight; everyone was outside, firing bullets at each other. Vladimir was backing out orders, and Grace was behind him. All she could think about was Valeria. The threat she made, the dangerous glint in her eyes. Those were not just threats; she meant it. She was planning something.“Do we know who is attacking us?” Grace asked, rubbing her hands together.“No,” Vladimir snapped.“But this place is secluded. How could they have known the location?” she asked, and Vladimir was thinking the same thing. Which of his men betrayed him? But they possibly couldn’t have. They all sworn to secrecy, and he knew how to threaten all his men to remain loyal to him, and none had ever betrayed him.“Perhaps it’s Valeria? She threatened me earlier. She seemed confident,” she said, and Vladimir knew it was impossible. She is weak, having taken so many beatings. How could she have cal
Third Person POVRosy cried silently as they once again beat Valeria. Her face was swollen and filled with blood. There was not a single skin in her body with no blood. Her white gown was filled with bloodstains, and she could see her eyes rolled to the back. How is she still alive? Why isn’t she begging for mercy? She keeps taunting the guards, saying things to them, and they keep hitting her harshly, taking turns. She is afraid of Valeria and scared for her. At this rate, she would be dying soon, and still they are not stopping.“Valeria”, she cried, and Valeria kept talking about all the hits. Nothing was blocking her from them; she could feel the pain in her stomach, but Valeria had to clench her hand tightly because she feared if she didn’t, she would rip off the shackles holding her back. The door opened, and Grace walked in.“Leave her,” she said, and the men breathed out, moving back. Valeria’s eyes were swollen, and her mouth was dripping with thick blood. She chuckled, her b
Third Person POV“Have you found the location?” Dmitri asked as he looked at Carter.“Still searching, haven’t found any leads,” he replied, and Dmitri sighed. They were in one of his apartments, and he was waiting for Cassidy and Egan. He doesn’t know how to get to them; they can only wait for Egan to contact them, and 5 days have gone by, and they have not gotten any message from them. Dmitri is starting to worry, but he knows they are probably looking for Valeria.“It’s been days; are we sure Valeria is still alive?” Nova asked.“Of course she is; they won’t kill her off so easily,” Mia replied, and she sighed. Dmitri’s phone pinged, and it was a message from Egan. He sent an address. His phone rang, and he picked it up immediately.“You found her?” he asked.“Yes, we did. The tracker on her was shaking. They are far away. You should come to the address. The girls work alone, so we have to meet them there; they have already left,” Egan said, and Dmitri nodded his head.“Okay, we ar
Third Person POVDays passed by, and Valeria has not spoken a word. They have injected her with so many injections, and the machine put on her head was releasing toxins every hour to weaken her. Valeria was trying to keep her strength. She knows it is not time to execute her plans yet, and she also knows they are looking for her. She will only execute her plans when she knows they are here, so for now, she needs to endure all the pain. Rosy, however, was regretting all her actions. She shouldn’t have done what she did; she shouldn’t have hated Valeria because Dmitri didn’t pay attention to her.She grew up in a spoilt home, and her parents always tell her she can get anything she wants. Rosy is not used to being told no, and it angers her when people refuse her. She did it out of hate; when she was contacted to bring Valeria her joy, she knew no bounds. She wanted her to suffer. Now she was here, her pup was in danger. Joseph would have found out what she did, and she knows this time
Third Person POV“Wake her up,” the harsh voice of Vladimir said as his men moved towards Valeria. They carried buckets filled with ice water, and they poured it on her harshly. Valeria flinched a bit, her head banging as she slowly opened her eyes. At first she was confused about where she was, but she remembered something hitting her, and she saw Rosy. Her eyes opened fully, and she saw she was in a spacious room, a very shiny room. The floors were tiled, and the walls were painted white. There was a huge mirror on the left side of the wall, and Valeria knew people could see them from the outside, but she couldn’t see them.“Seat her up,” Vladimir said, and they took Valeria by her arms, putting her on a comfortable seat, and then they strapped her in. She looked at everyone in front of her: Rosy, Declan, and some masked men. She turned to the man in front of her, and she knew it was Vladimir. Funny how she didn’t know what he looked like until now. Declan and Rosy had smirks on the
Third Person POVIt was nice, and Dmitri drove down to Mia’s house to pick Valeria up. He didn’t know she was going to take so much time. He has been so busy with Egan and Cassidy trying to solve the issue at hand. He didn’t want to tell Valeria; he loved how peaceful she had been. He didn’t want her to worry. He packed in the driveway and got down from the car. He walked to the front door and rang the doorbell. After ringing it twice, Mia opened the door.“Dmitri, what are you doing here? Come in,” she said, confused at why he was here. Dmitri smiled.“Don’t worry. I came to pick Valeria up,” he said, and Mia looked back at him confused. Valeria? She left several hours ago.“She left hours ago,” she said, and Dmitri was confused.“Really? I haven’t seen her,” he said, trying to think it’s probably not what he was thinking.“We were talking, and she suddenly got up all excited and said she would be right back. We figured she was coming to you,” Mia answered, and Dmitri quickly ran to
Valeria POV“Really?” I mumbled, playing with my nails. She nodded her head.“Of course. Do not doubt his love for you. Dmitri is the kindest man I have ever met; he cares for everyone around him and does his best to make everyone comfortable. He is the oldest Lycan here and the most powerful, but he never made anyone feel inferior by his power or influence. Everyone knows Dmitri here and in Helna. I was always so worried about him; we didn’t know who Valeria was or what type of person she was, and he didn’t say much about her. We were worried she was going to be a bitchy person who doesn’t give a fuck about him. Imagine how happy we were when we found out during the party he was with someone so nice and friendly. You two are a match made in heaven,” she said, and I chuckled.“She is right, Valeria. You are absolutely worried about nothing,” Mia said, and I smiled.“But how were you two able to move past your mates?” I asked. They both smiled.“Nova is lucky she met her mate, and her
